1. What property of matter refers to the amount of space occupied by an object and is measured in cubic units?

• A. Mass
• B. Density
• C. Weight
• D. Volume

Correct answer: d

Rationale: Volume is the property that refers to the amount of space occupied by an object and is measured in cubic units such as cubic meters or cubic centimeters.

2. What is the function of a cell wall?

• A. To provide structural support for the cell
• B. To transport substances in and out of the cell
• C. To synthesize proteins and lipids
• D. To store genetic material

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Rationale: The cell wall is a rigid layer that surrounds the cell membrane in plant cells, fungi, and some bacteria. Its main function is to provide structural support and protection for the cell, helping maintain the cell's shape and preventing it from bursting or collapsing. The cell wall also allows for the passage of water, ions, and other molecules in and out of the cell. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because those functions are typically carried out by other cellular structures such as the cell membrane, ribosomes, and nucleus, respectively.

3. Which element is a critical component of DNA and RNA, essential for storing and transmitting genetic information?

• A. Oxygen
• B. Carbon
• C. Nitrogen
• D. Hydrogen

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Carbon's ability to form diverse bonds makes it the backbone of genetic molecules, enabling efficient information storage and transmission

4. Julius plans to revisit the organizational chart of the department. He plans to create a new

• A. Box
• B. Solid line
• C. Broken line
• D. Dotted line

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: 'Solid line.' In organizational charts, solid lines typically represent formal reporting relationships, indicating direct authority and responsibility between positions. Creating a new solid line on the chart would signify a new formal reporting relationship within the department. This can be important for clarifying roles, communication channels, and decision-making processes. Boxes represent positions or roles in the organizational structure, while broken lines and dotted lines are typically used for informal relationships or advisory roles, rather than formal reporting relationships.

5. A 10 kg box rests on a frictionless surface. A horizontal force of 20 N is applied to the box. What is the box's acceleration?

• A. 0.5 m/s²
• B. 1 m/s²
• C. 2 m/s²
• D. 10 m/s²

Correct answer: C

Rationale: Use Newton's second law, F = ma, where F is the net force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. Since there is no friction, the net force equals the applied force (20 N). Therefore, a = F/m = 20 N / 10 kg ≈ 2 m/s².

6. What principle explains the relationship between pressure, volume, and temperature for ideal gases?

• A. Law of conservation of energy
• B. Newton's laws of motion
• C. Ideal gas law
• D. Archimedes' principle

Correct answer: C

Rationale: The ideal gas law (PV = nRT) relates pressure, volume, and temperature for ideal gases at constant number of moles and temperature.
